The Ministry for the Divorced & Separated

The parish is part of a Deanery group offering a 13-week program to support our brothers and sisters through the emotional pain of divorce and separation. Key challenges and unique family dynamics as a result of this unexpected journey will be addressed as well as a safe environment to share concerns and reconnect with understanding and a new hope. Open yourself up to experience healing and allow Jesus to restore your faith and renew your path.

Registration is required and includes book, journal, daily devotional and drop-in format for all groups throughout the diocese. Donation is $35.00 to register. Registration will also be open on the first night.

The 13-week program consists of the following topics:

* Why Did God Allow This To Happen? * Anger with Our Spouses, Ourselves, and God * Praying in Times of Distress * What Does the Church Really Teach about Divorce? * What is an Annulment? * Dealing with the Ex-Spouse * Helping Children Cope * The Healing Begins * Our Own Self-Worth * The Value of Suffering * Letting Go / Working on Forgiveness * Dating and Intimacy as a Divorced Catholic * Gratitude and Hope for the Future

Program is being offered Monday evenings on the following dates from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. in the Franciscan Rooms or other locations provided at a later date:
